THE HISTORY OF ALDI
The German discount supermarket chain came to Ireland in 1999.
Aldi's first few shops opened in November 1999, with locations in Sandyford, Dublin, and Ballincollig, Cork.
By the mid-2000s, Aldi bosses had opened numerous stores, focusing on providing high-quality products at low prices.
As the recession hit 2008-2012, Aldi's popularity grew as consumers became more price-conscious.
The supermarket giant continued it's expansion in Ireland between 2013-2018, while refurbishing existing stores.
By 2018, Aldi had over 130 shops throughout the country.
The chain began to focus on expanding its range of Irish-made products and supporting local producers.
In 2023, Aldi had over 140 stores in Ireland.
The store invested in sustainability initiatives, such as reducing plastic packaging and increasing the availability of organic and eco-friendly products.
Aldi chiefs said: 'At Aldi we are committed to supporting Irish suppliers. Developed in partnership with Bord Bia, Grow with Aldi is designed to help the very best Irish suppliers develop their brand.
'To date, we've invested €10 million in our Grow with Aldi development programme in a bid to find the very best Irish suppliers.
'As a result, for a limited time only there are over 47 new products, from 27 Irish suppliers available in store.'
Aldi have introduced technological advancements with self-checkout systems and contactless payment options.

Modular calf housing units sought for Moorepark
Teagasc is currently inviting tenders from suppliers for modular calf housing units at Moorepark. This procurement process forms part of Teagasc's strategy to improve the calf-rearing infrastructure at the Co. Cork facility. According to the tender documents, the modular units will provide "high-welfare, thermally efficient, and hygienic accommodation for calves up to 12 weeks-of-age". "The solution is intended to address capacity constraints during block calving periods," the documents add. Moorepark is a leading national research and advisory centre focused on sustainable animal production systems, including dairy and young stock development. Teagasc said that the modular units must be prefabricated, freestanding, and capable of being installed with minimal groundworks. The authority noted the units are intended for "seasonal or flexible deployment". Teagasc is seeking proposals from experienced suppliers who can provide units that meet or exceed the technical specification, deliver to site, and carry out or support on-site assembly. The units must be easy to clean, have good ventilation and comply with Irish and EU animal housing standards. The modular calf housing units will be used to support rearing up to 120 calves up to 12 weeks-of-age. The tender documents state that each pen should house 8–10 calves up to 100kg. The closing date for tenders is 2:00p.m on August 14, 2025.

Spotify is increasing its subscription prices again (but only for students)
SPOTIFY HAS ANNOUNCED that it will increase prices for student subscribers in Ireland on 1 September. The price hike is part of wider increases for users of the streaming service across Europe, South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific region. From next month, the price of a student subscription will go from €5.99 to €6.99 in Ireland. Spotify has several subscription options, such as a family plan and a 'duo' plan, but there'll be no changes made to these for Irish users. Advertisement Last year, the price of the Individual Premium subscription – Spotify's most popular plan – went from €10.99 to €11.99. The app is free to use, but a subscription eliminates ads and provides other features and content such as audiobooks. The price increase follows similar changes in the US and UK, which came into effect in May. Spotify has around 220 million premium subscribers worldwide. In 2024, the service made a net income of €1.138 billion – the first year it's made a profit since the company's founding in 2006. In the same year, it paid out €10 billion to artists. It had faced backlash for not paying artists more for streams and was accused of in the US unfairly cutting loyalty rates . However, in January a federal judge ruled that the move was supported by 'unambiguous' regulations. Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...
